I really should broaden my reading beyond the Guardian, but here's a post about the backlash against social networking.

I've bookmarked this, not so much for the blog post but the comments below that led to one contributor being blocked by the site owner. (see http://dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2011/01/goodbye-mark.html)

What do you think of the points that are made, what do they say about engagement in collaborative forms of discussion like this, and how much of this has to do with language and expression or viewpoint?

Would you have blocked Mark?

Students, teachers, technology mediators and subject matter experts coming together around the topic of environmental issues.\n\nSeems to be in the early stages but it will be very interesting to see what the outcomes are for these projects.How will it affect the learning experience for the students to be "legitimate peripheral participants" as Wenger and Lave would put it and what actions are likely to result from it?

An example of digital storytelling using a range of social media. Storify, still in beta and requiring an invite (which I don't have yet, boo!), allows a user to aggregate different items of social media to create a narrative experience on a topic.

Counter intuitive results to a survey by Citrix about the age of people driving social networking in businesses.

Steve in the office reflected recently that we are not Facebook's users, we are it's product. Our data, given up willingly is a valuable commodity to companies wanting to sell to us (or use our data in other ways).

This post by David Rowan explains why he's not using Facebook because of this.
